Q: I have $20,000 to invest in a good, steady dividend paying reit with some chance of growth. Other reits we own are MST.UN and AAR.UN. Recommendations, please! - Ted
Q: Westjet now has the first discount airline entering the Canadian marketplace with a continued dark outlook for their core routes (Alberta). What are your near term (3-6 month) and longer term (1-2+ years) thoughts on the stock price/valuation? Any and all insight is welcomed.
Thank you for all your great work this year, it has been an exciting one!
Q: mpv diamonds seem to have the mine completed on time & under budget. The shares price is down by more than 10% in two days. I am holding these stocks for the dividend of 1 $ per year. Do you see any problem & if so what?
Q: Just a comment... I've finally figured out how to view your entire segment on BNN... You may want to share with others (esp people like me who are really annoyed at the short segment/repeative ads format). I've gone to BNN.ca, clicked on videos, did a search on "Peter Hodson" and was given a number of videos - the length (time) of each video is listed in the bottom right hand portion of the screen --- look for length of about 46 minutes.
PS. Love what you do, and have increased my "wealth" for it!
Q: Would (lit) be a good play for small holding in lithium rather than stock. Going forward AAV what is your take on their recent report,seems like good to hold for a while and also CEU acquisition will it help for future as I am down about 1.50 a share.Tks 5I
In a previous answer you mentioned that the distribution for CBO, for tax purposes should be treated as interest income. Is the same true for XHY? I checked on Blackrock site but could not find tax related info.
I'm looking to bulk up my US exposure, specifically US$ income rather than growth names. Would you favour ETFs or a small set of individual companies for this purpose (any suggestions of either? Thank you)
As always, thank you for your insights and wisdom.
Q: I patiently hold AVO (at an approx 20% loss) and see that it is still maintained within the growth portfolio. You've mentioned previously that it is a frustrating name. What would it take to lose your interest? Is there any sign(s) that it will begin to behave better or should I be prepared for a long, patient wait with this name? I like the space that it is in and can't see why it doesn't perform better.
Q: My energy holdings are comprised of two names, SGY (fallen from half to quarter position) and BP (Plc) (maintaining its half position). SGY should survive but hasn't really participated in any meaningful upswing. Is there any fundamental reason for its lacklustre performance compared to peers in this sector? Would it be worth maintaining this position (I've held on throughout all dividend cuts) or abandoning it for some other company in this sector?
Q: Hi Peter & team: Re your answer to Peter yesterday, "Over a long period, sector allocation is in fact more important than stock selection." Please let me know what sector allocation should be, or reasonable.
